This article caught my attention whilst looking for logos for some research. As a graphic designer, I try to take notice to things like this, and in all honesty have noticed how old the Tesco sign looks.

[...] Reading attitude on supermarket logos it suddenly occurred to me how they have that typical Web 2.0 look and feel. Matthew, a fellow Brit, neglects to point out that many of the logos make use of reds and yellow within their design. Apparently these colours elicit hunger in people. Take for example Burger King, Macdonalds or Macydees as we like to call it in the north. Itâ€™s not surprising that Tesco is crawling with people even a little bit of colour can help do that. Talking of foodâ€¦ [...]

amazing, a real insite into the supermarket industry and their effect of branding on a wide audience.
Thoroughly enoyed the article. Made me think a lot. Good research.
Hope to read some more of your work in the future.

Nice article. An interesting look at popular examples of design which we pass by every day without sparing so much as a thought to.

Kudos on the background research too – I never realised that “Nike” was the Greek goddess of victory. Alas however, I dont wear their trainers
